Fit & Misfit Guide

A quick checklist to make sure Aylenic is the right match for your space, your lifestyle, and your comfort preferences.

Important notice:

Our couches are vacuum-compressed and expand after unboxing. Once opened, they cannot be re-compressed for a standard return shipment. Please review this guide before unboxing.

Quick Fit Checklist

Access Check

Measure doorways, hallways, elevators, and tight turns before ordering.

Delivery Method

Free standard delivery is to the accessible doorstep / entry area. Plan for moving cartons inside.

Two Packages

Most couch orders ship in 2 cartons, sometimes arriving on different days.

Expansion Time

Usable in ~72 hours; full fluff may take longer (especially in cold rooms).

Seating Feel

Deep, lounge-friendly seating. If you prefer very upright/firm seating, read the “Comfort Fit” section below.

Only Accept Unopened Returns

Because our couches are vacuum-compressed for shipping, we can only accept returns if the item remains unopenedand in original sealed packaging.

What to measure (before you order)

  • Door width (narrowest point)
  • Hallway width and turning corners
  • Elevator size (if applicable)
  • Staircase turns (landings)
  • Placement area in your living room

Pro tip: Leave a small buffer. If your space is tight, keep 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) clearance around the final layout.

Comfort Fit (Is it your style of comfort?)

Great fit if you:

  • Love lounging, movie nights, and deep seating
  • Want a softer “sink-in but supported” feel that improves after expansion
  • Prefer modular layouts you can reconfigure

May be a misfit if you:

  • Need a very upright, firm, formal sit
  • Have difficulty standing up from deeper seating (deep seats can feel extra relaxed for some users)4
  • Expect immediate “showroom-perfect” look right out of the box (expansion takes time)

 Before You Open

  • Confirm both cartons have arrived (if your order ships in 2 packages).
  • Inspect the outer box for damage before bringing it inside. If damaged, do not unpack, take photos and contact support.
  • Clear a clean area for expansion and keep ventilation comfortable.
